Vertushka with apples
Description
Delicious pastry for the whole family. My apple filling turned out extremely juicy, so I sprinkled the apples with a little starch; you may not need to do this — it’s optional. You can add raisins to the apple filling to enhance the flavor, or chopped nuts. The pastry is ready. Serve it at the table.
